What would you rather do – change or die? The answer might surprise you. (This is where I sourced one of the quotes from my sermon on Sunday night)

The final stretch – psalms on a table
Finished the last 40 psalms (21-60) in my lunch break. Next time, I think i’ll read more slowly, and look at the detail a little more, but I think having read them will help me understand tonight’s overview lecture.
Anise, King St Newtown – revisited.
Danes coffee. 381 King St, Newtown. Friendly staff greet you on arrival, and water is brought to the table even before you order – always a good start. The courtyard at the back has a choice of outdoor furniture, seating about thirty. It’s a breezy, laid back space.
Towards the front of house is an open kitchen’ and some more sun-drenched seating overlooking King St.
Coffee is well-made; the grinder is running to make the shots, it’s a drinkable temperature and the texture is smooth, and a little light. All that lets it down is the Danes coffee itself; i’m personally not a fan, but your mileage may vary.
Note: I was prompted to revisit after hearing from the new owners, but I didn’t identify myself.
psalms on a train
It’s the read-slabs-of-the-bible part of semester. This week, just to keep up with what was covered in class, I read Ecclesiastes, Job, and Revelation. Yesterday, I read 30 Psalms over the course of two train trips. This week’s Old Testament lecture is on the Psalms, and so that’s the prescribed reading: all 150 Psalms. I don’t know that I’ll get through all of them, but I’ll give it a go.

Rambo returns
Stallone’s IMDB page certainly had it right; not only is there a new Rocky movie (out here January 4th), but in 2008, we’ll see the return of Rambo.
Sheik says sorry
In case you miss it later on Sheik says sorry… (for -based on his comments as reported – comparing women who are not wearing the hijab to uncovered meat, and saying that it’s their own fault if they’re raped)
